The Springvale Suspension Bridge is a road bridge on the Napier-Taihape Road (Inland Patea Road) on the North Island of New Zealand in the Manawatū-Whanganui region. The suspension bridge spans the Rangitīkei River 41.5 kilometres (25.6 mi) from Taihape. Built in 1925, the bridge is no longer used for traffic and was transferred to the ownership of the New Zealand Historic Places Trust in 1970. The bridge has a span of 61 metres (200 ft) between the concrete towers that support the guy cables. The bridge was used for road traffic until 1970, when a wider new bridge was built right next to the suspension bridge, suitable for heavier loads.

There is a basic campsite with toilets right next to the old suspension bridge. Good access to the river and swimming opportunities.
